Tap, tap, tap...

 ...is this thing on?

I'm feeling quite proud of myself that I didn't let an entire year pass before posting again!

I used a similar title after not blogging for quite a while in 2017, so why not post a link to that?! (Click here to read that post.)

It's funny and strange to read what was going through my head six years ago, which is why I appreciate the blog so much in the first place!

Also funny: I mentioned a "fear" of technology in the 2017 post as a reason (ahem, excuse) for not posting for a while...wouldn't you know that's my same excuse today? Last summer we bought my very first laptop (I'm nearly 40 years old and have never owned a laptop!), and while it is a fantastic machine and MUCH faster than my desktop computer...I never made time to learn how to access my pictures (to post on the blog) from my new laptop. And my slow desktop computer took so long to upload pictures...see my predicament?!

Well. It took less than five minutes this morning to learn how to access my pictures from my new (now one-year old) laptop. Ahem.

Here are a couple of pictures to make this post more exciting:

Easter (it was COLD!)

Mother's Day (not cold -- sunny)

Pool (Sydney and Ruthie -- in case you don't recognize them)

Lorelei, Sydney, and Ford looking like teenagers (I guess Sydney is one)

Monster (thinking he looks svelte in this picture)

I have no idea why there are so many things on the floor in the above picture, but there you have it.

Time to wake up Sydney, Lorelei, and Ford. It's summer, but we still keep some semblance of a schedule.
